I am planning to build an enclosed porch/sunroom. The floor will be between 2' - 3' feet above the ground, the roof will overlap the footprint of course.
Should I use treated lumber for the floor joist? The joist will never get wet, but it will be - technically - outside. The joist will be attached to the house joist on one side, on the other side it will be supported by concrete footings. I will use treated lumber on top of the concrete, but the next layer, does it have to be treated too?
Thank you.
